§ 54.626 Service delivery deadline and extension requests.
(a) Service delivery deadline. Except as provided in the following,
applicants must use all recurring and non-recurring services for which
Telecommunications Program and Healthcare Connect Fund Program funding
has been approved by June 30 of the funding year for which the program
support was sought. The Administrator will deem ineligible for
Telecommunications Program and Healthcare Connect Fund Program support
all charges incurred for services delivered before or after the close
of the funding year.
(b) Deadline extension for non-recurring services. An applicant may
request and receive from the Administrator a one-year extension of the
implementation deadline for non-recurring services if it satisfies one
of the following criteria:
(1) Applicants whose funding commitment letters are issued by the
Administrator on or after March 1 of the funding year for which
discounts are authorized;
(2) Applicants that receive service provider change authorizations or
site and service authorizations from the Administrator on or after
March 1 of the funding year for which discounts are authorized;
Note 1 to paragraphs (b)(1) and (b)(2): The Administrator shall
automatically extend the service delivery deadline for applicants who
satisfy paragraphs (b)(1) or (2) in this section. When calculating the
extended deadline, March 1 is the key date for determining whether to
extend the service delivery deadline. If one of the conditions listed
in paragraph (b) in this section is satisfied before March 1 (of any
year), the deadline will not be extended and the applicant will have
until June 30 of that calendar year to complete implementation. If one
of the conditions under paragraph (b)(1) through (2) in this section is
satisfied on or after March 1 the calendar year, the applicant will
have until June 30 of the following calendar year to complete
implementation.
(3) Applicants whose service providers are unable to complete
implementation for reasons beyond the service provider's control; or
Note 1 to paragraph (b)(3): An applicant seeking a one-year extension
must affirmatively request an extension on or before the June 30
deadline for paragraph (b)(3) in this section. The Administrator will
address any situations arising under paragraph (b)(3) in this section
on a case-by-case basis. Applicants must submit documentation to the
Administrator requesting relief pursuant to paragraph (b)(3) in this
section on or before June 30 of the relevant funding year. That
documentation must include, at a minimum, an explanation regarding the
circumstances that make it impossible for installation to be completed
by June 30 and a certification by the applicant that, to the best of
their knowledge, the request is truthful.
(4) Applicants whose service providers are unwilling to complete
delivery and installation because the applicant's funding request is
under review by the Administrator for program compliance.
Note 1 to Paragraph (b)(4): An applicant seeking a one-year extension
must affirmatively request an extension on or before the June 30
deadline for paragraph (b)(4) in this section. Applicants seeking an
extension under paragraph (b)(4) in this section must certify to the
Administrator that their service provider was unwilling to deliver or
install the non-recurring services before the end of the funding year.
Applicants must make this certification on or before June 30 of the
relevant funding year. The revised implementation date will be
calculated based on the date the Administrator issues a funding
commitment.
